Program Requirements

The following suggested curriculum is typical of that required by many
universities for Mathematics majors. Many industries that hire mathematicians
are engineering- or science-oriented, such as aircraft and missile, chemical,
electrical equipment and petroleum industries. Excellent career opportunities
exist in business- and economic-related positions, statistical, and actuarial
work. A strong minor in a related field (such as business, economics, science,
etc.) is helpful in preparing for specific areas of employment. Students should
see an advisor for information about specific university requirements in
mathematics.
